Is your skin breaking out during “Corona Lockdown”?

Inspite of avoiding pollution and makeup why is our skin breaking out?

​The culprit "CORONA" has brought stress in our lives, due to which our body releases cortisol which is a steroid hormone. When your cortisol level goes up, it prompts your skin to produce excess sebum. This is when the oil clogs the pores and causes inflammation that leads to acne (pimple) formation.

Tips to prevent lockdown acne breakout:

• Wash your face properly. This is important to remove excess oil and dirt.
• Don’t wash your face with harsh cleansers that dry your skin. Use An alcohol-free cleanser.
• Stay hydrated. If your skin is dry, use fragrance free, non-comedogenic moisturizer.
• Limit makeup, especially heavy foundations can be comedogenic (can trigger pimple formation).
• Don’t touch your face, some of those pore-clogging impurities may get transferred to your skin.
• Don’t be a pimple popper, it may worsen your problem.
• Limit sun-exposure.
• Eat healthy diet. Avoid high glycemic foods such as chips, soft drink, baked cheesy food, etc.
• You can take Vitamin D and C rich food or supplements as they are beneficial in preventing acne.
  
• Lastly, don't panic and stress yourself!!
